Social Security Disability?

Edie received an unexpected large check today from the US Treasury, designated “SOC SEC FOR INS”.

The only explanation we can come up with is her application for Social Security Disability was approved, and this was just a retroactive amount since she became disabled. The strange part is there was no paperwork with the check, nor did we receive any notification her disability had been approved prior to today.

Seems strange, we wouldn’t have received an explanation prior to receiving a check, but maybe the government was just anxious to get some money into our hands so we could help the troubled retail sector.

Or maybe it’s just our share of the TARP funds, and everyone will be receiving a similar amount shortly
